At least nine restaurants in Central Delhi’s Connaught Place may lose their licence for violation of fire safety norms, with the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) issuing show-cause notices to them. “We had conducted inspection of all restaurants in Connaught Place and identified nine of them which have been violating fire safety norms. “Show cause notices have been issued to them and they may lose their licence if norms are not complied with,” a senior NDMC official told PTI. The two major markets in NDMC area which are flooded with restaurants are Khan Market and Connaught Place. According to norms, eateries with a seating capacity of less than 50 do not need an NOC from police and fire departments.
